22% of food innovations launched in Europe this year are private labels. Beyond this figure, the most impressive factor is the diversity and the pertinence of this innovation.

Faced with this phenomenon, it is essential that you fully understand the nature of these evolving own brand innovations.

Every year, the XTCscope™ of the Private Label Innovation analyzes movements in trends and product innovations of private labels in Europe and North America.

Thanks to this annual study, XTC can meet the information needs of its manufacturer and distributor clients, given this constant evolving phenomenon.

The XTCscope™ of the Private Label Innovation – which covers all food product segments and brands – analyzes private label innovations and their benefits, to reveal the strategic development potential behind each one.

The XTCscope™ of the Private Label Innovation is available in English or in French in PDF file (+ option for hard copy and presentation).

It punctuates our days, and because of its strong symbolic identity—after all, you are what you eat—food constitutes an effective window through which to observe consumption phenomena.Applying our parallel analysis of sociocultural changes and the latest food innovations, FUTURE FOOD .4 deciphers the trend data and the market’s expectations about products, services and communication.

A joint production by all XTC World Innovation offices worldwide, the XTC FUTURE FOOD .4 project is managed by our expert.

Hosted by an XTC consultant, our half- or full-day Innovation Seminars can be presented at your offices or any other meeting facilities.
